Pitches well when healthy, and finishes top 5 in Cy Young voting, but misses three starts with forearm tightness.

He had zero complete games in '07. As the staff ace, Peavy needs to work into the 8th and 9th innings more often. If he improves in this area, his IP will increase and his K's will decrease and his bullpen will be fresh. I'm also predicting big things from Jake the next time the Pads make the playoffs, whenever that time comes again. 17-8, 2.66 ERA, 245 IP, 238 K<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-146488">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I expect Peavy to win a few less games (mostly due to the team’s lack of offense, plus the fact that their NL West opponents have very good rotations) but I think Jake will work to get his pitch count down, which will allow him to complete a few games in ‘08.

Sure, he's never had the success Sweeney had. They're both righties but Wilson is used to the "bench" role and can also play LF/RF as well as emergency catcher. And would likely be a lot cheaper too.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-146485">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I think rather than Mike Sweeney we should look at Craig Wilson.

I think he’ll be about as good as last season but the OF defense won’t be as good so that will hurt his numbers slightly.
